How do I programme a Jaguar s type key fob originally from another Jag to work on mine

it needs programming using suitable diagnostic equipment using jag software i.e. jaguar wds. or ids.i don't think there is another way to do it.

you will have to go to jag dealer or find someone with compatible diagnostic equipment sonds like you fob has lost its rolling code or gone faulty

Seperate key fobs only can be programmed in the following way.

Turn ignition on/off 8 x times (allow all functions to stabilise) after the 9th on - press a button on both remote fobs. then turn ign. off. use good remote to lock and then try new remote to unlock/lock. sometimes it works first time - sometimes you have to repeat actions. good luck.

Replace the battery in the remote.

Insert your key in the ignition and turn it on and off. Push the Arm button until you hear it lock. That does the trick for me always. I own a 02 jag myself.

you can..... suggest you get another key also. you will need to get both programmed at your jag dealer.............. Steve ..... Botswana

Your car has a module for the FOB , that could need to be replaced and programmed , or just to reprogram keys again

Sounds like it lost it's program. Go to the Jag dealer and get it reprogrammed.

The switchblade key would need to be compatable with your ignition switch barrel. Only normally available from jag dealers who check the Jag owners register before supplying you a replacement.
The older type seperate fobs could be programmed by switching the ignition on and off 8 times (allowing all functions to settle) and on the 9th switch on - press a button on each fob and then switch off. to test use a good fob to lock the car then try the reprogammed fob to unlock/lock. Sometimes this works first time - sometimes needs a couple of tries.
